SCALERCIO Introduzione Nonostante l’importanza economica e la ricchezza di specie dei Pyraloidea, le conoscenze per l’I- talia in generale e per il meridione in particolare sono decisamente scarne e non desta dunque meravi- glia il recente rinvenimento di specie nuove per la scienza come Syrianarpia faunieralis Gianti, 2005 e Acrobasis foroiuliensis Huemer & Nuss, 2006. Ancora più frequenti sono le novità per la fauna italiana fra le quali citiamo, a solo titolo d’esempio, Lymphia chalybella (Eversmann, 1844) e Asartodes mon- spesulalis (Duponchel, 1834) (GIANTI, 2007), Sciota imperaliella (Ragonot, 1887), Seeboldia korgo- sella Ragonot, 1887, Scoparia ganevi Leraut, 1985, Asartodes zapateri (Ragonot, 1882) e Evergestis infirmalis (Staudinger, 1871) (PINZARI et al ., 2010), Dioryctria simplicella Heinemann, 1863, Hypo- chalcia dignella (Hübner, 1796), Homoeosoma incognitellum Roesler, 1965 e Ephestia mistralella (Millière, 1874) (BALDIZZONE et al ., 2013), Pempelia amoenella (Zeller, 1848) (SCALERCIO et al ., 2014), segnalate solo di recente per la fauna italiana. La fauna dei Pyraloidea dell’Italia meridionale continentale è stata molto poco esplorata e i primi da- ti, e per molto tempo gli unici, sono da riferire a COSTA O. G. (1832-1836) per il Regno di Napoli il quale molto spesso, però, riporta solo genericamente la presenza nel Regno. A questo lavoro è seguito quello di COSTA A. (1863) che ha indagato la fauna entomologica della Calabria Ulteriore, corrispondente all’A- spromonte e ai suoi dintorni, citando anche alcune specie di Pyraloidea. Successivamente le conoscenze sulle regioni meridionali si incrementano solo grazie a poche segnalazioni in diversi lavori fra i quali si ri- cordano HARTIG (1972), BASSI (1985, 1998a,b), e IPPOLITO (1987). L’unico compendio in cui è possi- bile avere una idea chiara sulla fauna dell’Italia meridionale nel suo complesso è la checklist delle specie della fauna italiana (BASSI et al., 1995) in cui vengono riportati, anche se per unità territoriali piuttosto ampie, tutte le informazioni disponibili sino ad allora derivanti sia da dati pubblicati che da dati inediti. In questo lavoro vengono riportate alcune novità faunistiche importanti per la fauna italiana, con- tribuendo in maniera significativa all’incremento delle conoscenza della fauna dei Pyraloidea delle re- gioni meridionali, avendo una attenzione particolare agli ambienti forestali della Calabria. Materiali e Metodi Le raccolte sono state effettuate in ore diurne con raccolta diretta e in ore notturne utilizzando trappole luminose con lampade a luce miscelata da 160W o ad incandescenza da 200W. Le visite hanno riguardato prevalentemente ambienti forestali di diversa tipologia o i loro margini, e hanno avuto perlo- più carattere occasionale. Le località dei nuovi reperti, tutte in provincia di Cosenza, Calabria, sono elencate di seguito in ordine alfabetico riportando per ognuna di esse: località, comune (se differente dalla località), quota, descrizione sintetica dell’ambiente, provincia ambientale di appartenenza (SCA- LERCIO, 2014) e coordinate geografiche: 01.

The list comprises 116 species of Noctuidae (26.4% of the Polish fauna), 116 species of Geometridae (28.4% of the Polish fauna) and 63 species of other Macrolepidoptera representatives (27.9% of the Polish fauna). The remaining 123 species were represented by Microlepidoptera. Nearly 10% of the species were associated with wetland habitats, what constitutes a surprisingly large proportion in such an urbanised area. Comparing the obtained data with previous studies concerning Polish urban fauna of Lepidoptera, the moths assemblages in the Botanical Garden were the most similar to the one from the Natolin Forest Reserve which protects the legacy of Mazovian forests. Several recorded moths appertain to locally and rarely encountered species, as Stegania cararia, Melanthia procellata, Pasiphila chloerata, Eupithecia haworthiata, Horisme corticata, Xylomoia graminea, Polychrysia moneta. In the light of the conducted studies, the Botanical Garden in Lublin stands out as quite high biodiversity and can be regarded as a refuge for moths within the urban limits of Lublin.

  • Moths of Poole Harbour Species List
    Moths of Poole Harbour is a project of Birds of Poole Harbour Moths of Poole Harbour Species List Birds of Poole Harbour & Moths of Poole Harbour recording area The Moths of Poole Harbour Project The ‘Moths of Poole Harbour’ project (MoPH) was established in 2017 to gain knowledge of moth species occurring in Poole Harbour, Dorset, their distribution, abundance and to some extent, their habitat requirements. The study area uses the same boundaries as the Birds of Poole Harbour (BoPH) project. Abigail Gibbs and Chris Thain, previous Wardens on Brownsea Island for Dorset Wildlife Trust (DWT), were invited by BoPH to undertake a study of moths in the Poole Harbour recording area. This is an area of some 175 square kilometres stretching from Corfe Castle in the south to Canford Heath in the north of the conurbation and west as far as Wareham. 4 moth traps were purchased for the project; 3 Mercury Vapour (MV) Robinson traps with 50m extension cables and one Actinic, Ultra-violet (UV) portable Heath trap running from a rechargeable battery. This was the capability that was deployed on most of the ensuing 327 nights of trapping. Locations were selected using a number of criteria: Habitat, accessibility, existing knowledge (previously well-recorded sites were generally not included), potential for repeat visits, site security and potential for public engagement. Field work commenced from late July 2017 and continued until October. Generally, in the years 2018 – 2020 trapping field work began in March/ April and ran on until late October or early November, stopping at the first frost.

  • Lepidoptera) Records of Microlepidoptera from Denmark in 2018 (Lepidoptera)
    Fund af småsommerfugle fra Danmark i 2018 (Lepidoptera) Records of Microlepidoptera from Denmark in 2018 (Lepidoptera) Otto Buhl, Per Falck, Ole Karsholt, Knud Larsen & Flemming Vilhelmsen Correspondance to: Småsommerfuglelisten, Zoologisk Museum, Universitetsparken 15, DK-2100 København Ø, Danmark, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract This article reports and comments on interesting Danish Microlepidoptera collected in 2018 and includes remarkable records from previous years. The classification and nomenclature follow the Danish checklist (Karsholt & Stadel Nielsen, 2013). Seven species are reported as new to the Danish fauna: 1) Micrurapteryx kollariella (Zeller, 1839) and 2) Caloptilia honoratella (Rebel, 1914) (Gracillariidae); 3) Dichomeris latipennella (Rebel, 1937) and 4) Scrobipalpa bryophiloides Povolný, 1966 (Gelechiidae); 5) Aethes bilbaensis (Rössler, 1877) (Tortricidae); 6) Hodebertia testalis (Fabricius, 1794) and 7) Cynaeda pustulalis (Hübner, 1823) (Crambidae). All were collected in one or two specimens with automatic light traps, apart from S. bryophiloides which was taken at light and H. testalis which was collected on sugar ropes. Stenoptilia veronicae Karvonen, 1932 replaces Stenoptilia eborinodactyla Zagulajev, 1986 in the Danish list. The introduced species Prays oleae (Bernard, 1788) is removed from the list as the only specimen recorded from Denmark belongs to Prays citri (Millière, 1873). The total number of Danish Gracillariidae is now 91, Gelechiidae 182, Tortricidae 395, and Crambidae 128. This results in a total of 1629 species of Microlepidoptera (families Micropterigidae–Zygaenidae + Pyralidae–Crambidae) found in Denmark. The total number of Macrolepidoptera species recorded from Denmark is 978, bringing the number of Danish Lepidoptera to a total of 2607 species. This is the 40th article in the series of yearly lists of Microlepidoptera from Denmark published in Entomologiske Meddelelser.

It is open with few trees, and the vegetation is dominated by dwarf-shrubs growing on nutrient-poor soils. Dry heaths with Heather Calluna vulgaris and wet heaths with Bell Heather Erica tetralix are common vegetation communities in the heathland, and they often form mosaics. The heathland landscape is highly threatened, with large substantial areal losses of 95% in Sweden since the 1800s. Heathland supports around 200 red-listed species, including plants, insects, birds and reptiles.

La famiglia comprende 10 sottofamiglie: Acentropinae, Crambinae, Cybalomiinae, Evergestinae, Glaphyriinae, Odontiinae, Pyraustinae, Schoenobiinae, Scopariinae, Spilomelinae. Le ricerche territoriali su questa famiglia di microlepidotteri ebbero inizio da Pietro Zangheri nel secolo scorso. Dopo 50 anni i dati, pubblicati dall’Autore nel 1969 e contenuti nel “Repertorio sistematico e topografico della flora e fauna vivente e fossile della Romagna”, vengono aggiornati e integrati con l’aggiunta di 31 specie. Abstract [A contribution to knowledge of the Crambidae of Romagna (Insecta: Lepidoptera: Crambidae)] Faunistic data on 126 species of Crambidae (Insecta, Lepidoptera) living in Romagna region (Italy). Crambidae are a family of Microlepitoptera, subdivided into ten subfamilies: Acentropinae, Crambinae, Cybalomiinae, Evergestinae, Glaphyriinae, Odontiinae, Pyraustinae, Schoenobiinae, Scopariinae and Spilomelinae. The first list of the Crambidae of Romagna was published by Pietro Zangheri in 1969. The present paper updates Zangheri’s survey after half a century, by adding 31 species. Introduction and Concluding Remarks are both in Italian and in English. Key words: Lepidoptera, Crambidae, checklist, Romagna, Italy. Introduzione I Crambidae sono una famiglia di microlepidotteri. Nella Checklist delle specie della fauna italiana (Minelli, Ruffo & La Posta, 1995), questa famiglia comprende 292 specie racchiuse in 86 generi.
